Strength Ratio vs Body Weight
How Strength-to-Bodyweight Ratio Works
Formula
Ratio = Weight Lifted / Body Weight
Common Benchmarks
These ratios provide a standardized way to evaluate strength independent of body size.
Example Calculation
A 175 lb lifter bench presses 225 lbs.
- 01Ratio = 225 / 175 = 1.29x bodyweight
- 02Distance to 1.5x BW = 175 * 1.5 - 225 = 37.5 lbs more needed
- 03Distance to 2x BW = 175 * 2 - 225 = 125 lbs more needed
